The Annapurna Sanctuary route is also known as Annapurna Base Camp Trek in Nepal. It is one of the most popular treks in the Annapurna region. The walk starts at Nayapool and the trail goes through villages, paddy rice fields, Rhododendrons trees, and different landscapes with views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.

Annapurna Base Camp has a 360-degree splendid view of the towering Annapurna range between 6000m to 8091m peaks and lies on the heart of the Annapurna range. We head to Jhinu Hot spring at the bank of the Modi River and enjoy the natural hot water bath after returning from coldness ABC.

Rhododendron flowers bloom colorfully at an elevation between 1400m to 3300m en route of Annapurna Base Camp Trek in spring (March to May). Machhapuchhare is also known as Fishtail (6993m), the most attractive, beautiful, and trekker’s favorite mountain in the Himalayas of Nepal.

The Langurs (white monkeys) often see around Tadapani and Modi Khola valley between Sinuwa and Doban. Donkeys, cows, goats, and water buffalos come across on the trail. Many types of birds sing early in the morning. The local’s daily life can see in the Uleri, Chhumrung, Sinuwa, Landruk, and Dhampus villages.
